Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de mesure d'audience destiné à un récepteur. Ce système comprend un équipement de surveillance, par exemple un décodeur, un détecteur marche/arrêt et un émetteur, couplés au récepteur. Le décodeur lit les codes de programmes intégrés dans une émission reçue par le récepteur. Le système comprend également une station de base et une station mobile, par exemple un combiné téléphonique. Ce combiné téléphonique reçoit les codes de programmes transmis par le décodeur et invite l'auditeur (au moyen d'un signal visuel ou d'une tonalité) à entrer ses données personnelles (c.-à-d. qui est l'auditeur) au moyen d'un clavier ou d'un récepteur vocal. Les données du programme (transmises par le décodeur) et les données personnelles (entrées par l'auditeur) sont transmises à la station de base, où elles sont horodatées et stockées. La station de base comprend un circuit téléphonique qui transmet les données stockées à une unité centrale de collecte de données via un réseau téléphonique public commuté. Si aucun code de programme n'est trouvé ou si l'équipement de surveillance est supprimé, la station mobile invite l'auditeur à entrer des données de programme pouvant être sélectionnées dans un programme préalablement téléchargé.

Title: Reuseable universal vacuum cleaner bag
Inventor: HOFFMANN KONSTANTIN MOESSIS
IPC: A47L9/14
Filed: 1998-05-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a reuseable universal vacuum cleaner bag which is both economical and time-saving. The user places a cardboard template on the polyesterol panel (1) so that the holes match each other, marks the edges of the card on the panel with a pencil and cuts the resulting shape out of the polyesterol panel (1) using scissors. The opening required in the frieze-cloth seals (5 or 6) on the vacuum cleaner bag (8) must be cut out crosswise with scissors. Only one of said frieze-cloth seals (5 or 6) should be opened. The adhesive seal (12) is joined to the frieze-cloth seal (10) by means of rolling up the bag end, thus closing the bag. The bag is emptied by performing the same process in reverse. In the event that the bag is too long, it can be shortened using the frieze-cloth-adhesive seals, since the motor aspiration system must be kept free. The adhesive seal (3) on the holding panel is pushed together with the opened frieze-cloth seal (5 or 6), and the bag is ready for use.

Abstract: La fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FDA) est une enzyme destinée à catalyser de manière réversible la réaction transformant le triosephosphate en fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. Cette enzyme est située, à l'intérieur d'une feuille, dans le chloroplaste (synthèse de l'amidon), et dans le cytosol (biosynthèse du sucrose). L'invention concerne la production de plantes transgéniques exprimant le gène E. coli fda dans le chloroplaste, afin d'améliorer le rendement végétal par une augmentation de la production de sucrose en général et un accroissement de l'aptitude de la feuille à la biosynthèse de l'amidon en particulier. Tout en ayant une teneur en sucrose inférieure, les feuilles des plantes exprimant le transgène fda présentent une accumulation de l'amidon considérablement supérieure, en comparaison des plantes témoins exprimant le vecteur nul, en particulier au début de la durée d'éclairement. Ces plantes transgéniques possèdent également une masse de racines sensiblement supérieure. Les pommes de terre transgéniques exprimant le gène fda présentent en outre une uniformité de solides améliorée.

IPC: C08F212/14
Filed: 1998-08-26
Abstract: A resist composition is prepared by reacting an alkali-soluble
polymer having a phenolic hydroxyl or carboxyl groups
with a vinyl ether compound in an aprotic solvent, such as
propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, in the presence of
an acid catalyst, suspending the reaction by the addition of
a base, and directly adding a photoacid generator to the
reaction solution. When a dialkyl dicarbonate is used in stead
of the vinyl ether compound, a resist composition is prepared
by carrying out the reaction in the presence of a basic catalyst
and adding a photoacid generator directly to the reaction. Thus
resist compositions can be prepared without isolating or
purifying an alkali-soluble polymer which has been substituted
by a catalytic reaction.

Abstract: A display device comprises a light guide and a movable element. By locally exerting a force on the movable element by means of selection means, optical contact between the movable element and the light guide can be brought about. Light emanates from the display device at the locations where optical contact takes place. Measures are taken to employ the force exerted by the selection means as efficiently as possible. This can be achieved by making the force act at the location where the optical contact takes place and/or by reducing other adhesive forces (caused, inter alia, by differences in pressure, static charging, surface stresses, van der Waals' forces and/or chemical forces).

Abstract: An electrochemical fuel cell stack comprises a first end plate, a second end plate, and fuel cell assemblies interposed between the first and second end plates. The stack further includes a compression assembly comprising a compression mechanism and a restraining mechanism. The compression mechanism urges the first end plate towards the second end plate applying an internal compressive force to the fuel cell assemblies, even as the thickness of the fuel cell assemblies changes. The restraining mechanism prevents movement of the first end plate away from the second end plate by preventing deflection of the compression mechanism, which may occur, for example, when internal fluid pressure is increased.

Abstract: The present invention teaches a method for enabling the formation of a high damping, soft polymer gel. The method includes: reacting in a suitable solvent a poly(alkenyl benzene- co -maleic anhydride) and a primary amine to form a poly(alkenyl benzene- co -maleimide) polymer. The poly(alkenyl benzene- co -maleimide) polymer while remaining in solvent is grafted with a maleated polyalkylene through the use of a grafting agent such as an alkyl diamine to form a polyalkylene grafted poly(alkenyl benzene- co -maleimide) polymer product. The solvent is then removed from the polyalkylene grafted poly(alkenyl benzene- co -maleimide) polymer product and the polymer is mixed with extender such as oil sufficient to form the gel. During oil extension the graft copolymer is further crosslinked due to the presence of additional alkyl diamine.

Abstract: An image forming process for easily making an image drawing (ortho-image)
in an actual place while confirming it in real time. Measuring of control points (at
least three points) is performed (S110), and preparation is made for forming an
ortho-image based on image data thereof and survey data. Where photographing is
carried out from a plurality of directions, additional image measuring is performed
(S140). Then, ortho-image formation is performed on a PC (S160). Here, if a formed
ortho-image is not what is desired, ortho-image correction is performed (S180).
After a satisfactory image is obtained (S200), the process moves to a next area to be
measured, and the same operation is repeated. On the other hand, unless a
satisfactory image is obtained, additional image measuring (S140) is performed
again.
